Tokyo Detective

Chapter 328 I Want Naoki Hanyu to Die

It was still the director's office, but this time the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Naoki Hanyu fiddled with the ornaments on the director's desk.

"Director, may I know the reason?"

Koichi Uemura walked to the window and looked down at Chiyoda Ward.

"Not long ago, a big shot called me for the first time. He talked to me about many topics related to the Japanese economy, and finally we talked about the pharmaceutical industry. As an industry that Japan is at the world's top level, it cannot afford to fail, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the country."

Naoki Hanyu ignored the topic of foundations and instead wanted to know who was jumping out.

"Who?"

"No comment."

Naoki Hanyu put down the ornament. The only people who could be called big shots by the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner are those guys in the cabinet, either commissioners or ministers, or a few old fogies in the ruling party.

Naoki Hanyu didn't insist either. Although the preliminary investigation had already wasted two days of the task force's time, Koichi Uemura wasn't Ten'ei Shiratori and wouldn't do his best to support him.

"I will call the men back."

"Thank you for your hard work. I just applied for the highest possible bonus from the higher-ups and it has been approved. After this, you will receive the Rising Sun Medal."

"That's quite a large sum. This operation involves nearly a thousand people and is estimated to cost hundreds of millions. Is the Rising Sun Medal considered compensation?"

The Rising Sun Medal is an award given to those who have made outstanding contributions to the country or society. It is divided into the Grand Cordon of the Rising Sun, the Double Cordon of the Rising Sun, the Medium Cordon of the Rising Sun, the Small Cordon of the Rising Sun, the Double Cordon of the Rising Sun, and the Single Cordon of the Rising Sun.

The Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun is awarded to heads of state, heads of government, high-ranking political figures, or outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to society.

Therefore, the Rising Sun Emblem is the highest-level Rising Sun Emblem that someone of Naoki Hanyu's level can obtain, but Naoki Hanyu doesn't care about this type of emblem at all, since it doesn't increase attributes.

Koichi Uemura noticed the young man's indifferent attitude and couldn't help but smile helplessly. Sure enough, there were still complaints.

"Naoki, come play golf with me on Sunday."

Playing golf with the boss? Most people couldn't refuse, but Naoki Hanyu himself...
"I don't play golf."

"Just hang out casually. I'll introduce you to some old friends. Don't refuse, just keep the elders company."

Since the leader's tone was conciliatory, Naoki Hanyu certainly wouldn't refuse.

"If my skills aren't up to par, please don't laugh at me, Director."

"Don't worry, I'll have my old friend's granddaughter teach you how to fight. She's a real beauty."

"."

Naoki Hanyu looked at his old boss suspiciously. Was this guy planning to pimp for him?

Shortly after, Naoki Hanyu left the director's office, even though it was impossible to openly investigate him, he actually had other plans.

Just as Naoki Hanyu returned to the Criminal Investigation Department area, a commotion suddenly broke out within the department, with the Third Advisor of the Criminal Investigation Department shouting loudly.

"The minister has fainted! Call an ambulance immediately!"

Naoki Hanyu weaved through the rioting crowd and saw a policeman giving Eizaburo Anzai first aid.

The newly appointed minister looked terrible; he had a high fever, his face was pale, and he was convulsing.

Anzai Eizaburo had been on duty because he was in charge of the theft, but eventually collapsed due to the curse and infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Soon after, paramedics carried the minister away, while Naoki Hanyu stared at him with a cold gaze the whole time. He never imagined that the Ghost Ship Curse, the Demon Sword Curse, and the Green Bacillus Infectious Disease combined would have such great power.

"This is just the beginning."

Yes, this is just the beginning.

That evening, a series of videos suddenly circulated online, detailing the background of the major events that had occurred over the past two months.

First, Saiichi Mukai, an employee of the Longgao Group, discovered a new type of fungus that is harmful to humans. Then, the police were attacked by Longgao Group's subordinates before they could reach the scene. Next, there was a collision at the courthouse, and foreign mercenaries attacked a convoy transporting prisoners.

The most shocking aspect was the fact that Longgao Group had collected thousands of babies for human experimentation over the years, with the number estimated to be well over 5000, which was appalling to some.

The video not only describes the detailed addresses along the route, but also shows documents bearing the name of the Longgao Group. Clearly, all the content is what was stolen from the Superintendent of Police's office.

Those calling themselves the Emperor Squad have also condemned the Longgao Group, claiming they will not stand idly by.

A man wearing tattered yet familiar-looking armor appeared in the shot.

"Longgao Group is a demonic group. For the sake of profit, they can kill thousands or tens of thousands of people, break up countless families, and make countless parents suffer the pain of losing their children. If Longgao Group is not punished, the next victim may be you or me."
.
These videos were quickly deleted by the cyber police, and internet accounts were banned one by one.

However, the Japanese information and communications sector under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, as well as the cyber police department of the National Police Agency, soon discovered that the real challenges were just beginning.

A mysterious force was seen spreading the videos to various platforms in different ways. Although they were soon banned, these videos continued to emerge, clearly indicating that someone was spending money to do it intentionally.

Various government cyber workers worked overtime all night to initially curb the spread of malicious videos, but by the end of the night, many people had already seen the content.

Even some local small TV stations broadcast it, but they were quickly stopped.

As for the six major Japanese television stations, they wisely refrained from getting involved because the video content was simply too explosive. If they had solid evidence, they might have broadcast it, but right now it's just one side of the story on the internet.
.
In just three short days, a wave of discussion about Longgao Group has swept the internet.

You say the video content is fake, but the descriptions in it all match the Metropolitan Police Department's recent announcement. You say it's real, but the Metropolitan Police Department has issued another announcement stating that the video content is distorted and fabricated.

When the authorities use their credibility to intervene, those who are unaware of the situation will naturally tend to side with the authorities.

Even so, Longgao Group's official website was still flooded with messages.

This forced Longgao Group to hold a press conference to state that the video content was fake and that they would take legal action against those who defamed and falsely accused them. Longgao Group reserves the right to sue anyone online who believes the rumors or even participates in spreading them.

Such a response was clearly insufficient to quell the incident, but Longgao Group did not hesitate to sue several individuals involved in spreading the rumors, finally turning the online discussion from an open one into a covert public opinion.

Longgao Group's pharmaceutical testing base in Fukushima Prefecture.

Makoto Nagase, the chairman of the Ryugao Group, was watching the man's madness through the glass in the room.

The man was locked to a fixed chair, his skin covered in tree-branch-like growths, his eyes were white, and his mouth was open, oozing pus. He had been infected with the human-eating bacillus and turned into a fungal corpse.

Just then, the door to another room opened, and a woman was pushed into the room by several burly men. They then ignored the woman's cries, closed the door, and released the fungal corpse from its restraints.

The young woman kept banging on the door, staring in terror at the standing fungal corpse.

"No, please let me go. I'll do anything you want."

The next second, the fungal corpse pounced on the woman and tore her apart in full view of everyone. Her throat was ripped open, and her internal organs and intestines were pulled out, making it a very bloody scene.

The onlookers through the glass were incredibly tense, not because they were worried about the woman's life or death, but because they were anxious or rather, anticipating what would happen next.

Three minutes later, the fungal corpse suddenly stopped biting and wandered aimlessly, indicating that it considered the female corpse to be an infected person (a companion).
Sure enough, the female corpse stood up shakily, her intestines still dragging on the ground.

At that moment, more than a dozen researchers cheered, as if the killing inside the house was a gift from heaven to them.

The president of Longgao Pharmaceuticals approached Nagase Makoto with utmost respect.

"Chairman, adding the gene of material number 33 has indeed broken through the barrier of the number of times the human-eating bacteria can infect. This is the most important thing. The eighth infection only takes 3 minutes. I believe that infecting 12 times will not be a problem."

Fungi can infect up to 12 generations, which already has the potential to destroy human civilization.

Makoto Nagase nodded in satisfaction.

"In that case, let's quickly extract the evolved fungus and conduct another infant experiment."

"Yes, but there aren't many babies left in the lab, so we need to replenish them."

Makoto Nagase frowned when he heard that they wanted a baby, but he still agreed.

"I will contact the materials department to try to improve it. In short, I need you to produce preliminary results as soon as possible."

"Yes, please don't worry."

The so-called achievement is that, like Toriyama Juzo, being infected with fungus not only turns him into a monster, but also allows him to live to be over 130 years old.

The research team of Longgao Group discovered through experiments on 50 adults that man-eating fungi are more likely to modify infants. Unfortunately, after losing 30 infants, they were still unable to make any progress. That is why they had the idea of ​​cultivating new man-eating fungi, or rather, cultivating fungi that are closer to the sacred tree.

It is clear that all the contents were the same as those stolen from the Superintendent of Police's office.
.
After Nagase Seiji left the laboratory, Kamekiri Ryohei, the head of the business department, walked in. He was also Takamura Yamato's pseudo-brother-in-law, because although he and Takamura Yamato's sister were lovers, he was not married.

"Minister, public opinion has been suppressed for the time being, but Longgao Group's reputation has still been damaged. What should be done next?"

Makoto Nagase looked out the window at the world obscured by the wind and snow. In mid-January, Japan finally welcomed its coldest snowfall.

"For now, let's maintain the status quo in terms of public opinion. Let's sue the most vocal ones as a warning to others. As for social reputation, there's no need to care. As long as we wait for Longgao Pharmaceutical's latest drug to be released, we will still be the pride of Japan, and those people will have nothing to say."

As one of Japan's top high-tech industries, Makoto Nagase values ​​his work more than his reputation. In any case, the accusations on the internet are baseless, and the government will not allow the police to investigate Ryutaka.

If Runggo falls, Japan will have no pharmaceutical companies at the world's top level.

So instead of worrying about public opinion, it's better to be wary of those guys.

“Those guys who call themselves the Emperor Squad are the ones we need to be most wary of. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, so we must be on high alert.”

"Yes."

Makoto Nagase suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, what did the Metropolitan Police Department say? Their police hero is too arrogant. I don't want to see him in that uniform anymore."

"Naoki Hanyu has a foundation of over 100 billion yen, so..."

Makoto Nagase interrupted.

“Tell them that if they kick out Naoki Hanyu, I can create a 500 billion yen police fund.”

"Well, the police fund is also limited."

"Rules are rules, but people are flexible. Go and think of a solution."

"Yes."

Makoto Nagase looked again at the mountains obscured by the wind and snow in the distance. Ever since Naoki Hanyu removed his transit point and destroyed the entire baby trafficking chain in Tokyo, he had been labeling that young man as dead.

So what if you can do whatever you want in the police system? So what if you have 3000 billion?

As Japan's top billionaires, none of them can't influence Japan's decision-making level; their net worth isn't over 1.5 trillion yen.

What is a chaebol? It has a long history, covers multiple fields, forms a self-sufficient closed-loop industrial chain, and has special ties with government agencies.

To put it another way, the downfall of every conglomerate affects the national economy.

These are not comparable to a nouveau riche.

"Naoki Hanyu, I want you to die in despair."
.
Just then, an eagle flew by from not far away, piercing through the wind, snow, and snow-capped mountains, and landed on a man's shoulder.
